The.Exchange Question.
It i? a littra'difficult to unde?stand tbc ex
'ct pcrition of the issues which.have inter? |
upted the exchange of prisou?m between our
.wn sud the Yankee Government. '- The fact
hnt eight hur.drod ot our prisoners at Point
jOckont '.Tere sent up by Bittier to City Point
m the laat flag of truce boat, led to the be
ivT thnt the exchange, under the provisions
jf the cartel; had been renewed, and- .that
Butler Lad been recognized by-oar Govern
non1" ay commissioner of exchange. This is
:iot the case however.
The Iiichmond Dispatch of tho 7th inst,
mys that thc men sent us are received as pa
roled prisoners, under the cartel as it wa? be
Torc tbc hitch which interrupted tho regular
exchange. In sending an equivalent, man
l'or man will not be returned, bat a number
in ratio with the excess, of prisoners which
they claim to' have in their possession. They
claim lo have twenty-five per cent more of
our prisonirs than we have of tboirs, and thc
understanding is that they are to send twenty
five per cent, excess to us in the delivery of J
prisoners. The letter of Judge O tdd, refu
sing ir? recognize Butler has not been with
drawn,.nor have the difficulties with reference
to thc exchange of negro troops been removed.
Gen. Bragg.
Tue appoirtmcnt of this officer to a posit:?m
in Iiichmond underthcimmediate supervision
of thc President, bas provoked unmeasured,
and in our opinion, uncalled for strictures
fruin some of our eotctnpo'raries. Gen. Bragg
is a man of great enorgy and off acknowledge
ability as an executive officer. Throughly
conversant arith the wants of the army^frotn
his experience in the field, his counsel cannot
fail to be of great benefit to thc country in
his new position. Whatzdv.int.ige is now to
be derived from condeming Geo. Bragg for
his Kentucky and Tennessee campaign is be
yond our comprehension. Thia ro-opening of
old 6ore3 can do no good. . We have, always
believed and do still believe that, he did aa
much as any other officer could do -sith the
very limited means athis disposal. Let there
bo less uncalled criticism on our officers ?nd
the country will derive more advantages from
their services. What we want now is har
mony among all classes of the people, and a
firm, uuit^ed, steadfast support of such meas
ures as may conduce most tobring about a
speedy termination of the war and an honora
ble abd lasting peace, which we cannot fail'
to accomplish if we all do our dut? during
the present year.-Constitutionalist. ?'
NECRO SOMMERS AS PRISONERS OF WAR.
Yesterday, tho first veritable negro prisoners
of war wcro received at the Libby. They
were genuine, sure members of the original
Corps d' Afrique, ranging in color from gin
ger-bread brown to tobacco black, greasy and
loud .smelling, encased in blue uniforms, close
buttoned up to the chin They were captur
ed on the 2d instant, within a"few miles of
Williamsburg. As they claimed to be " But
ler's pets," and it being understood that a
great affection and fondness for' each other
existed between them and the officers captur
ed from the recent sacking and. pl au der ex
S" edition, Major Turner very considerately or
ercd that they be placed in .the cells occu
pied by their white co-patriots, each being
accommodated with a sable boon companion.
Thc only party likely to be seriousry^aliected,
either in stahu- or morals, is the negro. Thc
Yankee cannot be degraded lower; thc negro
probably can be.-Iiichmond Examiner, 9th.
Hon. Linton Stevens has introduced in
the Georgiallouso of Representativas ia Special
Session, a resolution declaring the power te sus
pend the JittltitA Corpus limited by tho prohibi
tion thiit no person skill be deprived ef liberty
without due process of law, which must come from

ACCIDENT.-We learn that on Monday last,
as a body of cavalry were passing over Dun
ham's Bridgo on Sal lida Uiver, about five miles
from this place, the bridge gave way and nome
twenty or thirty of the party were precipitated
into the river. The distance nf the fall was
between fifteen and twenty feftt. From thc.
best information we can obtain, Ja.ut a lew 01
